I Learned From You
I learned about love from you,
Watching your caring ways.
I learned about joy from you.
In fun-filled yesterdays.
From you, I learned forgiving.
Of faults, both big and small.
I learned what I know about living
From you, as you gave life your all.
The example you set is still with me
I’d never want any other.
I’m thankful for all that you taught me,
And I’m blessed to call you “Mother.”

Mother-In-Law
The first time that I met you
I was nervous as could be;
Unsure if you would like me,
But you put me right at ease.
You made me feel so welcome,
And I knew you were sincere.
You encouraged me with your kind words.
You took away my fears.
You treated me as your own
In your very special way;
Made me part of your family,
And I treasure that each day.
Thank you for accepting me,
And loving me as you do.
I thank God for your family
And for blessing me with you.

My Mom And Mine Is
My mom and mine is
My husband’s mom is mine too
There is a special bond without any clue
Don’t know when I came so close to you
Don’t know how it all started and true
Today I have in you my best friend
The purity from my heart and no present
Coz no one is as wonderful as you are
Whether you stay near or you stay far
You will always remain in my heart
My most amazing mom-in-law!
God bless you!

Star Mother-In-Law
Some mother-in-laws are possessive;
Their child they still want to own.
My mother-in-law’s love is like sunlight;
On both of us it shone.
Some mother-in-laws put you down;
They think you’re not good enough.
My mother-in-law shows approval,
Affection, and other good stuff.
Some mother-in-laws interfere;
They think that they know best.
My mother-in-law lets us be;
She’s better than the rest.
And so I just want to thank you
For being who you are;
You’ve made everything so easy;
As a mother-in-law, you’re a star!
